If I had to build a rig as of today, I would save up again and look to the future. Starting with the 775 series of Intel CPU's, to narrow the focus on the new video cards. PCI-Express. 775's Going to the best of the motherboards for the 775 series (Has wireless built in). Check out the...

I only wanted to caution you in case you were thinking of upgrading to an Epox 4PCA3+ mainboard, since you are interested in Raid-5. Epox has neglected to update the highpoint portion of their bios; therefore, you lose out on Raid-5 when you use large IDE drives. Despite this, I have a very...

My BFG 6800 GT OC sat here unopened for one week and a day before it got opened. My wife got tired of me saying I was going to sell it on e-bay, knew I wanted to keep it, and brought me the shrink-wrap. Installed it two days later.

Does anyone have any benchmarks or reviews on this almost forgotten perk to these cards? This after all was my deciding factor (before the doom3 pubs) on Nvidia, yet it is one of those less talked about features.

Thanks BurningGrave101, that demo brought me up to 84C and a system crash. Looks like it's time to back down a little bit more. 415MHz/1.1GHz hits 82C after about 5 minutes of running.

Ok, tell us your cardname and run this test. 1) Manual Overclocking, move the core clock and test changes until it crashes to find your maximum setting. 2) Repeat for Memory Clock Frequency 3) Change to your Temperature Settings Menu 4) Run the Nalu Demo and watch your temperatures rise...

Any idea how this will effect our overclocks? Just curious, because my $299 BFG GT OC card I got from Bestbuy has been running fine at 415/1.05. If it fails to work at that setting for D3, will this mean I need to solder in that second power connector to bring it closer in line with a Ultra...

PIV 3GHz OC'ed ~ 3.2GHz (yes it goes higher) Epox - 4PCA3+ Motherboard (only issues was hardware raid was lacking, currently doing software raid in windows) Geforce 5200 PCI card (To sell or keep my BFG 6800GT, I keep debating as I am an EQ addict and do not need the framerates) 1GB DDR500 -...
